Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Who normally would prescribe Provigil for fatigue, your primary care doc or the rheumy? I'm on Humira now once a week for PA. I'm hoping that the increased dose will help the fatigue. I keep hearing good things about Provigil. I need some energy back to be effective in my work. Mark [Editor's Note: Mark, in my case, my rheumy was willing to prescribe Provigil when I complained of severe fatigue. At that time, I opted not to go ahead with it as I felt I should pursue other ways to relax first and I didn't really want to add another drug to the regimen. I find that taking melatonin at night to get more sleep and exercise (in my case, swimming) have helped to give me a lot more energy on most days. Ha, it also helped that I decided to retire on my 57th birthday. I suggest talking to your rheumy (because he or she needs to know all meds you are on anyway) and if he/she is comfortable with prescribing Provigil, then that's probably the way to go because the rheumy is the one who is reviewing your bloodwork on a regular basis.
